But that update is from yesterday morning. You’d think it would have at least made it into my state by now.
Took about 3 weeks for me to notice a change in my apple Leather. No forced patina. Give it a alcohol wipe if you want it to age more quickly.
Hate or love it Apple leather cases is probably the main reason why most started using leather cases on our iPhones. I know I did.
One can only hope that OG saddle brown patina will come back one day.
true. i’m loving my Ink case/Dark Cherry wallet combo on my Deep Purple Pro Max. The Aspen is a great case but the added bulk, the Stone Gray color being off, and the Magsafe magnets being weak made me appreciate the Apple case more.
shoutout Andar though as they sent me a tin of their leather cream free of charge. i applied some to my Apple leather case and Apple wallet and the leather feels amazing now.
I’m enjoying my Aspen, but will probably get Apple’s Ink at some point. Love that colour and the leaner fit.
For those who wanted to see the Andar Aspen - moss green with the deep purple 14 Pro:

Highly recommend ink, I love how reminiscent it is of the of the old Midnight Blue. I’m sure since it being a dark color it won’t age too bad over time.
Nice combo! I might just pull the trigger on this one and the grey as well.
Did you do anything to the corners or did it come like that?
Does Bullstrap usually have a significant delay getting their new cases out for a new iPhone, or are they typically ready & delivered by iPhone release day?
Well mine is still sitting in NJ in pre-shipment status. I’m getting annoyed now.
Very nice
That Moss Green is as playful and subtle with light as Deep Purple. Some of the pictures look like greenish grey.
Thanks! I'm totally happy with it. The corners came that way - it appears that the leather was stretched. I wiped it down (post photos) with Obenauf's Leather Oil and that helped darken it a tiny bit overall. I think the corner color variation is more visible in photos with bright light than in real life.
Yes, I'm totally happy with the color and am excited to see how it ages! Also depending on the background/lighting in photos it appears way more to the brown color spectrum than in real life.
Mine is inbound into customs, look on the bright side at least you’ll have it very soon unlike BullStrap cases.
Yeah, seeing the same thing. Likely we arrived in Chicago on the same flight. Never imagined it would take this long; I’ve had the last three days off and now have to go back to work so IF it comes tomorrow I won’t see it til I get home at 2200.
Peeeeved.
